Ok it's not strictly poker news but the famous mathematician and his wife have both passed away after being involved in a crash in a taxi

What a legendary life. RIP


Paraphrased from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Forbes_Nash,_Jr.

Nash's college adviser wrote a letter of recommendation for graduate school consisting of a single sentence: "This man is a genius." Story checked out when his (28 page!) PhD dissertation (on the Nash equilibrium) won a Nobel Prize.

Why would you not wear seatbelt in a taxi? Just so unnecessary... RIP.

What an unfitting end to a great man. At least they died together.

The world has become a lesser place without him, but his concepts and his theories will live on.

This sucks.

The magnitude of what you have single-handedly added to the vast expanse that is human knowledge is and will be unparalleled for a very long time I think.

RIP John Nash

You are quite correct most people see themselves as separate to the game and if they realised they were part of it it would drive them to madness. But it is true. John Nash died today and now Nash equilibria will break apart and people will realise the game is chaotic and that judgements, consciousness and actions affect the dealership. I look forward to this new age of poker. Game theory is dead

This should be in OOT, not NVG.

You can start a thread there or contribute to it if it already exists.
